More on her mother:

Maria Badie, daughter of Thomas Badie and Aeltje Braconie.

Maria Badie was probably born circa 1612 at Liège (now in Belgium).

John Reynolds Totten, "Aeltje Braconie-Baddie-Cool-Bredenbent Family Notes", New York Genealogical & Biographical Record Vol.65, pp.234-245 (1934): 65:236. Estimates her birth date at about 1608.

Harry Macy Jr., "Some New Light on Aeltje Braconie and Maria Badie", New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vol. 142, pp. 21-36 (2011): 142:32. Revises the estimated birth date of Maria Badie from ca. 1608 to "say 1612".

Immigrant ancestor to America between 1626 and 1628 (estimate, an exact record of immigration has not been found) she came to New Netherlands, with her parents. She was living as late as Jan 1697. She had children with all three of her husbands and is the ancestress of countless descendants living today who can trace their origins to early New Netherland.

She married 1st Jacob Verdon between 1626 and 1630 (either just prior to immigration or just after arrival at New Amsterdam).
